Very welcome

Glad you like them!

Wonderful! I am so happy for you.

Thank you Elina. Be sure to subscribe. Gracias.

Hello Lisa, Prometric does not require the candidate to change the cloth/towel when washing the body. Now, if the towel comes off the body you MUST change the position of the cloth/towel.

You're welcome!

All the best

Wow, thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion. Be Blessed.

Hello Mowalola, you are welcome.

Excellent Gladimir! I am so happy for you.

@gladynina please did you wash only face, one arm, hand and underarm or you washed both neck and shoulder the way Dr Lee demonstrated?

I did it like in the video. Both sides of the body and face. The tester will give you specific instructions if they want it done differently. Take your time and pause if you need to remember something, I was able to correct myself a couple times and she liked that I caught myself.

@@gladynina Thanks so much for this response

Hello Joseph, Anytime a student applies extra lotion to a person, the candidate must pat dry it off. A student is allowed to self correct to gather supplies that was forgotten in the beginning of the skill.

Hello, Each state can choose which agency to use as a tester for their citizens. Think of it as a credit card. Each store can decide to take Mastercard, Visa, or American Express. Texas in 2021 decided to go with Prometric as a testing agency for the nurse aides. Therefore, students must follow Prometric guidelines. Some states test under Credentia or Headmaster. This is why I stress to students to KNOW which company their state uses as a testing agency. The skills are different.

Hello Tina, You are welcome.

Hello Netz, Congratulations on passing the skills part. There are lots of review questions in CNA Plus online.

Hello Destiny, I hope I am understanding your question correctly. The bath towel used for the neck, chest, and abdomen does not need to be changed. Think about when you bathe at home. Most people use one washcloth to bathe the entire body. For the second part of your question, yes the candidate is tested on completing a partial bed bath including ONE arm. In a real setting, I would wash the entire body as needed.

Hello Shea, Prometric does not grade us on how many towels we bring to the bedside. For this skill I will use 3 big towels. One for the table, one is placed under the patient, and one to dry the patient's body. If you use 4, that is Okay also.

Hello Elizabeth, They are the same skill. Prometric calls the skill "Provide resident a partial bed bath and back rub". If you have ever studied for a Pearson Vue exam the skill is called "Modified Bath"

Not at all. I am just seeing your post. Sorry. I pray that you passed the exam.

Hello Nerm210, We DON"T need to tuck the corners of the sheet under the bed because this behavior is not a part of the skill.

Hello Jennifer, Prometric only requires one hand be done during the nurse aide exam.

Hello KK, I can put the rinse towels back into the basin because they don't have soap on them. The towels are not making the basin water contaminated. Remember, most patients take a bath at home using one towel to wash and rinse with. Good questions.

Hello Lucy, Checking a client/patient's wristband for their name is NOT a requirement for the state exam. The student should knock on the door, announce their presence, call the patient by their name, and tell the patient who they are. I instruct my students to ask their partner what their name is before starting the exam. The evaluator will pair you up with someone before the exam starts. So, ask your partner what name should I call you during the exam.

Hello Miyat, Yes the skill only requires lotion to be put on the back with a backrub.

Hello Ashlye, I like the unique way your name is spelled. After the eyes and face is washed, Prometric does not care about the order for the rest of the body. Prometric states you must start with the eyes first

@@txcnaskills2599 thank you! Thank you also, for answering my question. I appreciate the videos you make, they help more than you know!

@@txcnaskills2599 Prometric clinical shills checklist also stated after face wash and rinse resident’s neck , hand, arm, chest, and abdomen. Wash from cleanest part of the body to dirtiest part.

Hello KK, The ears are not included with the modified bath. After cleaning the face the students can go in any order with the rest of the body.

Hello Julia, You must remember that the candidate will be timed approximately 30-40 minutes to complete the skills portion. Prometric DOES NOT require the changing of the bath water unless it is soapy or cold. Therefore, changing the water after cleaning each body part is not necessary. Think about when bathing at home. Do we change the water after washing different body parts?

Thank you Bolanie.

Hello Amie, Prometric does not require gloves to be worn during the modified bath, therefore you are not required to change gloves. Please see the indirect care instructions for the modified bath. (Prometric states, IF WORN). Prometric does not require the student to left the breast using the back of the opposite hand. You will be performing this skill on a manikin. The breast will not move. (LOL) www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/IndirectCareBehaviors.pdf See page 6 for the modified bath.

Hello Cassi, The candidate does not have to change their gloves during the bath or when putting up the dirty towels/emptying the dirty water. The candidate does not have to change the gloves when giving a back rub. The candidate will clean one upper part of the body as stated in the Prometric Skills Checklist. The candidate is asked to bathe a resident who is in bed and who is not able to help with his/her bathing. For testing purposes only, the candidate is asked to wash just part of the body so that technique can be evaluated. Instructions ask the candidate to wash the resident’s face, neck, back, one hand and arm, and the chest and abdomen. Soap and water should be used for the bathing. The resident also needs a back rub. When completing the skill, the mannequin is dressed in a clean hospital-style gown. A mannequin is used for the role of the resident.

@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you so much for responding so quickly. I will let my class know this information.

Llamas k

Hello, The evaluator does not care how we test the water. The important step is that the student tests the water BEFORE using the water on the patient.

Hello Courtney, Yes you can. Remember when most bathe in their private homes, the person use the same dry towel over the body.

Yes, correct. You must keep the water free of soap.

@@txcnaskills2599 ok, thank you for answering Your videos are very helpful thanks again.

Hello Miyat, You don't need to change the water unless it get too cold or soapy.

Hello Yves, you only need to wash one arm.

Hello Vanessa, No, you don't have to fold the washcloth when bathing the patient.

Hello Austin, For the Prometric state exam the peri area cleaning is a separate skill. The state tells the client what part of the body to clean for this skill.

Hello Thelma, Prometric does not care where we empty the dirty water. I empty the bath water in the sink.

Thank you so much Dr Lee I test this Thursday wish me luck I will be letting you know how everything goes

Hello, Yes that is correct.

Hello, Prometric does not require a linen protector be placed on the bed at the end of the skill.

Hello KK, male peri care is not a skill that is required by Prometric.

Hello, The Prometric evaluator will NOT penalize you for raising or lowering the entire bed with your gloves on BECAUSE this is not a step that is being graded for the skill.

@@txcnaskills2599 Thanks so much, also do you know if they are testing denture, oral and feedings yet?

Hello Susan, Prometric does not count the number of washcloths the student use. They are concerned with the technique.

@@txcnaskills2599 so is it true that we can use more washcloths and keep the rinse cloths out after each use? Wouldn’t the water become soapy from rinsing? Or am I overthinking this, lol.

Hello Danielle, Prometric requires the eye and then the face to be cleaned first. After the face is clean, it does not matter which part of the body you do next.

It is not required for this skill. When nurses are doing private duty in a person's home the nurse may not have s bed pad for use

You're welcome Eddy. 😊

Hello Demetric, Prometric requires the modified bed bath to be done on a mannikin.

Hello Jennifer, Prometric will require the modified bath to be done on a Mannequin.

Hello Cassi, The state guidelines in the Skills Checklist does not state the patient CANNOT sit up or is too weak to help. I am not aware of this requirement especially since this skill is done on a Mannequin and NOT a resident. The candidate is asked to bathe a resident who is in bed and who is not able to help with his/her bathing. For testing purposes only, the candidate is asked to wash just part of the body so that technique can be evaluated. Instructions ask the candidate to wash the resident’s face, neck, back, one hand and arm, and the chest and abdomen. Soap and water should be used for the bathing. The resident also needs a back rub. When completing the skill, the mannequin is dressed in a clean hospital-style gown. A mannequin is used for the role of the resident.

@@txcnaskills2599 thank you Dr.Lee, I wonder why the cards they have been given at state say they cannot sit up and are too weak to help. I have had 3 separate students come back and tell me that is what their cards state🤔

No it does not matter.

Hello DB LM, Prometric only requires the candidate to wash ONE arm.

Hello, Prometric REQUIRES the student to wash the chest and abdomen ALSO. It sounds like your teacher is reviewing a Credentia guideline. So, please find out which testing provider is used by your state.

That will be fine.

Hello, For the modified bath, the candidate only has to wash ONE arm.

Hello, My next nurse aide class starts in 2 weeks.

Hello, raising the bed is not a requirement for the Prometric skills.

Hello, That is correct. Mr or Mrs. and then use the patient's last name.

Hello Raquel, My school is located in Texas. To locate the Prometric guidelines for Texas please go to this site: www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf If you live in another state, please search for Prometric CNA skills for ____________ the name of your state. I hope this helps. Take care.

@@txcnaskills2599 thank you i am in Texas too, and that is same one we have i thought she was following a master list because of the her teaching methods. so your videos are following that list too? Next week we continue skills and should be done soon would like to know if you already had students test with prometric.

@@raquelserranogarcia Hello Raquel, My students have tested with Prometric and have been very successful.

@@raquelserranogarcia Hello Raquel, If you watch me closely in my videos, I will speak to the patient and say the steps of the skill that I am doing. This behavior is for you to follow along with me as I demonstrate the skills. Let me know if you see me speaking out each step on the skill checklist. I will be waiting to hear back from you.

@@txcnaskills2599 I will practice speaking out each step , I do the greetings and closing I am having trouble following our teacher with the steps her teachings are different. thank you so much , will put and extra effort to understand her with the help of yours thank you for you replies

Hello Maria, Prometric is an agency that is contracted with most states in the US to administer the certified nurse aide exam.

Hello Nicole, that is correct.

Hello Thelma, I hope I understand your questions. 1. Yes, you can place the towel you dry the client off with on the bed. The important thing with Prometric is that the bed linen stays dry and the top sheet stays dry. 2. When you empty and rinse the basin, it becomes clean. Since we still have on the dirty gloves, we use a paper towel to pick up the basin and store it. I hope this makes sense.

Ok thank you so much for answering my question that's all I needed to know thank you so much I understand now thank you

Hello Marilyn, Yes the order for doing the bath does matter. 1. You must start with the eyes and then clean the rest of the face. 2 After you have rinsed and dried the face you may do the rest of the body parts in any order. 3. You will fail the exam if you don't start with the eyes. Remember no soap on the face.

Hello Adams, No where in the skills guidelines does the state require us to remove the gloves before touching the call light. This is not a graded step.

Hello, I am not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if you can use the same washcloth to wash and rinse the front of the body?

When im done washing the arm can i use same washcloth for the front of the body?

@UCZqx7V1_wqNRtk88yHZhRng Hello V.CD.C I would not recommend you to use the same washcloth to wash and rinse the patient. If you review step 16 from Prometric for this skill (16 Replace basin of water during task if it becomes cold or soapy) that would infer not to place the soapy washcloth in the basin of clear water unless you want to keep changing the water in the basin. I hope this is clear.

@@txcnaskills2599 no no not to rinse, i mean to wash the arm n then wash front of the body with same washcloth?

@@v.cd.c5323 Hello, You can put soap on a washcloth and wash the arm and chest if you like. That should not make you fail the skill.

Not sure what you said here.

Hello

Hello, Changing the water to clean the back is NOT a requirement.

Our pleasure! I am glad your gave praises to God first.

Hello, I didn't understand your comment.
